We provide local transportation and have preferred client rates at local hotels and a nearby Air BnB's that have been used by our clients in Garner, Smithfield, and Clayton, NC. Just let us know if you have a preferred hotel chain. A $500.00 deposit is required to secure your spot for your accelerated program 30 days in advance of your arrival date. The deposit is refundable until 30 days prior to your arrival date, and will still be applied to your training if you need to re-schedule. You won't lose your deposit unless you don't show up for your scheduled training without at least a two-weeks notice, or if you do not re-schedule within a 12-month period.

Use your plane and fuel and pay only $3000.00*

If you have a suitably equipped airplane, I encourage you to learn how to best manage IFR while flying in your own airplane.

Compare our program to others that charge thousands more to train you in your own plane, burning your fuel while you paying all of their expenses. Our price is complete, except for accomodations and food. The only other expense is the FAA examiner's fee of $500.00 on the day of your checkride.

Instrument Rating?

If you're thinking of adding an instrument rating (IRA), just ask yourself these two questions:

Do I want to be a safer and moreprecise pilot?

Do I want to get more utility out of my flying?

If your answer to either of these is yes, then OBXFlight LLC is the IFR training resource you're looking for.

OBXFlight, based at the Johnston Regional Airport (KJNX) in Eastern North Carolina, is dedicated solely to providing intensive and accelerated IFR flight training to highly motivated pilots.

North Carolina isn't Florida or the Southwest.When you train with OBXFlight LLC, you'll fly in actual instrument conditions whenever the opportunity presents. In this region, these opportunities happen often with the best training conditions are October - March here. North Carolina has real four-season weather with a fairly mild winter and there numerous instrument approaches of every type in a reasonably-sized, uncongested region.

In order to complete the accelerated program in the time allotted and on-budget, you must have at least 10 hours of logged instrument time and 40 hours of cross-country PIC* time in your logbook. You must also have passed your written Instrument-Airplane Rating (IRA) exam. With these hours, you can earn your rating in a weeks, time at our reasonable, fixed rates.

*Logged instrument time includes all logged hood time, approved simulator time, or actual instrument time logged with an instrument-rated pilot on an actual IFR flight. Cross-country PIC time excludes dual cross-country time as a student pilot. All cross-country flights must include a leg of at least 50 NM or greater to be considered cross-country for the issuance of any certificate or rating. A pilot information sheet will be sent to you once your dates are set and your training will be predicated on the hours represented on this form. OBXFLIGHT, LLC is not responsible for the improper logging of hours prior to arrival for training. Logbooks should be totalled out and signed before you arrive for training. If you arrive with less than 10 hours of loggable instrument time, this will necessitate additional flying hours at $164/hour.
